One of the most promising methods for biomedical coating formation is based on the use of vacuum arc plasma sources that allow pure metals to be obtained and plasma-chemical synthesis of complex compounds to be carried out. In this work, the results of synthesis of titanium nitride and titanium carbide on metal substrates using specially developed equipment are presented.
